This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ring-buffer: Ensure proper resetting of atomic variables in ring_buffer_reset_online_cpus to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ring-buffer-ensure-proper-resetting-of-atomic-variab.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 5550b9391d989815469ac923e65bf8f87c2b477c Author: Tze-nan Wu <Tze-nan.Wu@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Apr 26 14:20:23 2023 +0800 ring-buffer: Ensure proper resetting of atomic variables in ring_buffer_reset_online_cpus [ Upstream commit 7c339fb4d8577792378136c15fde773cfb863cb8 ] In ring_buffer_reset_online_cpus, the buffer_size_kb write operation may permanently fail if the cpu_online_mask changes between two for_each_online_buffer_cpu loops. The number of increases and decreases on both cpu_buffer->resize_disabled and cpu_buffer->record_disabled may be inconsistent, causing some CPUs to have non-zero values for these atomic variables after the function returns. This issue can be reproduced by "echo 0 > trace" while hotplugging cpu. After reproducing success, we can find out buffer_size_kb will not be functional anymore. To prevent leaving 'resize_disabled' and 'record_disabled' non-zero after ring_buffer_reset_online_cpus returns, we ensure that each atomic variable has been set up before atomic_sub() to it.
